Road Show Program

CDS and its affiliates have earned a global reputation for management of in-store “retailtainment” events.

We offer complete end-to-end road show production management, serving as a single Supplier of Record and contact for retailers.

BEFORE THE ROAD SHOW EVENT

CDS evaluates prospective road show events to ensure strict compliance with retailer standards. Our vendor review and management process ensures that all the requirements are met for a successful show!

  • Comprehensive Insurance Coverage
  • Product Approvals and Set-up Requirements
  • Food and Product Safety Requirements
  • Supply Chain Security Compliance
  • Supplier Diversity
  • Factory Audits and Product Testing
  • KPI Parameters (Key Performance Indicator)
Our long-standing relationships with America’s best retailers provide outstanding benefits to our partners!

When a supplier has been approved for Road Show participation, the experienced staff at CDS immediately go to work on show development, using our refined industry insight to craft a unique, engaging show experience that entertains and informs retail customers. We make sure all the key features and benefits are covered in our demo scripts, giving our presenters the best possible chances for success. Our show directors are some of the best in the business, and we don’t put presenters in front of the public until they have passed rigorous training programs.

Detailed requirements for supplies, equipment and staffing are assessed by the CDS team, and provisioning is scheduled.

Printed materials like backdrops, banners, table skirts, and handouts can be fulfilled on favorable terms through our in-house graphic design and print division.

CDS maintains in-house design and print facilities for marketing and display media.
